A material data collection system allows capturing of material data. For example, the material data collection system may include digital image data for materials. The material data collection system may ensure that captured digital image data is properly aligned, so that material data may be easily recalled for later use, while maintaining the proper alignment for the captured digital image. The material data collection system may include using a capture guide, to provide cues on how to orient a mobile device used with the material data collection system.

An information processing apparatus that generates a file in a prescribed image file format is provided. The information processing apparatus accepts a designation of a storage condition to be satisfied by image data to be stored in the prescribed image file format, obtains image data, and generates the file such that one or more image data included in the obtained image data and satisfying the storage condition are stored in one of the prescribed image file format and such that image data included in the obtained image data and not satisfying the storage condition is not stored in the one of the prescribed image file format.

A training image selection system 1, 1′ comprises: an imaging device 21, 22 capturing an outside of a host vehicle to generate images, a storage device 32 storing the images generated by the imaging device, a detecting part 34 configured to detect operation of signaling lights of the host vehicle, and an image selecting part 35 configured to select training images from the images generated by the imaging device. If the detecting part detects operation of signaling lights, the image selecting part is configured to select images generated at timings within a predetermined range from when operation of signaling lights is detected, as training images.

Provided is an electronic device. The electronic device may include: a display; a processor operatively connected to the display; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: display an image on the display; identify tiles corresponding to at least a region of the image selected as a region of interest; select the identified tiles from a file in which the image is stored; and store at least one piece of information on the region of interest, and the selected tiles, wherein the file in which the image is stored may be a file in which the image is compressed and stored as a plurality of tiles. It is also possible to provide various other embodiments.

An image processing apparatus acquires a plurality of pieces of image data sequentially outputted from an imager and, in accordance with reception of an image capturing instruction to capture a still image, specify as image data to be processed a plurality of pieces of image data in a period that includes a timing at which the still image is captured. The image processing apparatus, based on an action of a subject estimated using the image data to be processed, add information that indicates the action of the subject to data of the still image.

There is provided an image management apparatus. A first receiving unit receives an image from a communication apparatus. A sending unit sends the image and an evaluation request for the image to an image evaluation apparatus configured to perform evaluation with respect to likelihood that another user will purchase the image, A second receiving unit receives an evaluation result for the image from the image evaluation apparatus. A registering unit registers the image in a server apparatus configured to provide an image sales service, in a case where the evaluation result indicates that the likelihood satisfies a predetermined standard and information, which indicates that a user consents to having the image registered in the server apparatus, is set in the image.

According to an aspect of the disclosure, an information processing apparatus comprising a communication circuit and a control circuit is provided. The control circuit transmits reduced image data of captured image data, to a first external apparatus through the communication circuit; receives, from the first external apparatus, a result of evaluation processing applied to the reduced image data; on the basis of the result of the evaluation processing, determines whether to apply image processing to the captured image data corresponding to the reduced image data, by a second external apparatus; transmits the captured image data that is determined to be applied the image processing, to the second external apparatus through the communication circuit; and receives, from the second external apparatus, a result of the image processing applied to the captured image data.

A wide-angle image processing apparatus and method includes receiving in a first client terminal having a display an original image captured by a wide-angle camera; receiving in the first client terminal a user input for selecting a first view mode for the display; requesting metadata corresponding to the first view mode from a shared memory accessible to the first client terminal and the wide-angle camera; receiving the metadata corresponding to the first view mode from the shared memory; and setting at least one region of interest in the original image based on the metadata corresponding to the first view mode.

An imaging apparatus includes: a plurality of image processing units output images obtained by imaging an object respectively in different directions; a generating unit combines images output by the plurality of image processing units; a recording unit; acquiring unit acquires display range information; a control unit: controls the plurality of image processing units to drive in a first mode, in a case where the combined image is recorded in the recording medium; and controls (1) a first image processing unit which outputs an image corresponding to a displayed range in the combined image to drive in the first mode, and (2) a second image processing unit which outputs an image corresponding to a non-displayed range in the combined image to drive in a second mode, in a case where the combined image is not recorded in the recording medium.

A CPU of a PC executes display control processing that displays, on a display, a print image superimposed on a photographic image of a fabric captured by a camera, specified area processing that specifies, as a specified area, a predetermined area of the photographic image, and overlap deleted print image formation processing that forms an overlap deleted print image obtained by deleting an overlapping section from the print image that overlaps the specified area. The CPU projects the overlap deleted print image onto an object to be printed.
